THE TEACHERS MEETING.
Resolutions of Respect to the Mem
OrY of B. f. HOwells.

Yesterday, at II am, the teachers OF
this county met in the Thirteenth Ward
schoolroom, with President Stewart in
the chair.
G. NJ. Sorensen was elected secretary
pro tenn. fin the absence of the assistant
secretary, Miss Sharp.
A committee consisting of Mr.. J. B.
Moreton, Professor J b. Toronto and
Miss Rachel Edwards Was aDpointed by
the chair to draft resolutioA~ VI rrspec
to our deceased secretary, b +. How
ellis.
G M. Sorensen was elected assistant
educational reporter, to fill the vacancy
occurring through the resignation of
Mrs. A. K. Hardy.
Mr.. G. q. Orapo defined attention as
the self-directing of the mind upon an
object before it at the moment.
There are two stimuli to an act of at
tentlon; something external connected
with the object attended to, or some
thing internal. An external stimulus
consists of some interesting or striking
feature in the object itself. An internal
stimulus is a motive in the mind which
prompts it to put forth its attention in
a particular direction. The object of
the teacher should DE to present the
subject in so interesting a manner that
the pupil will form the habit of attend
ing TO any subject at will.
The subject of intermediate reading
was treated by Miss Ruth A. Reese. The
lady teaches the pupils to know what
they are reading by an intelligent use of
the dictionary and other works of ref
erence. :
Relative merits of oral instruction
and book training received thorough
discussion by Mr.. William Bradford.
Neither one can be used exclusively with
good results; but the two combined
produce the best results.

RESOLUTIONS OF RESPECT


were unanimously adopted by the Asso-
citation:
Inasmuch as Providence, by wisdom
that passeth all human understanding,
has taken from US by death our friend
and fellow teacher, Benjamin Francis
members of the Salt Lake County
Teachers Institute, though humbly
submitting to the will of Heaven, feel
that it is our duty to express, as a slight
memorial of our Iamented co-worker
and friend, though inadequately, our
appreciation of his merits and our grief
at his demise;
Therefore. be IL resolved; that we beheld
before him, though on the very TIRES
hold of his responsibilities and battles of
life, the certain prospect of an honor
able, useful, and even brilliant future,
That in his death, we have lost a
faithful worker in his official capacity as
secretary of this association.
That the community, in common with
ourselves, has lost conscientious, in
telligent and untirlng worker in the
great cause of education, to which he
had devoted himself.
That this association has lost one of
its brightest lights as to intellect, educa
ton and moral stamina.
That we share in the heavy burden of
sorrow that weighs upon his relatives,
and extend to them sympathy for the
loss which words are too poor to ex-
press, and Heaven only knows how to
repair.
And that these resolutions be indited
IN our minutes and copies of the same
sent to his brothers and sisters and also
to the press for publication.
